Ok here goes. I purchased her couple months ago. It has a 306, with a t5 trans. Minor bolt ons nothing major. The 306 was freshly built about 5 months ago. She's going to be my beater while my 03 goes in the shop.

Yes definately keep the four eyed's alive. I miss mine. :cryeyes: The color codes will be on the door tag if it hasn't been painted over or removed. But I want the flag that's hanging in the garage. It'll go good with the 2 I have.:marc:

Wish I could have another Mustang as a DD!

Thanks for posting up the pictures! I'm so glad you are saving it. You don't see many four eyed notches and especially the 79-82's. Keep us updated on your plans!!! :mick:

Very cool!

Yes that would be a factory two tone paint.

Check for your door tag and post a pic or the numbers off it.

The paint appears to be the chamois glow on the bottom and the dark chamois on top.

I am checking for more info on foureyedpride right now.

I'm having a hard time finding parts for it. I want to restore most of the car, Clean up the engine bay, 410 gears, do the suspension, find a roll cage and a cowl hood that is about a 3-4 inches. That's so i can purchase and install a roots style blower. Keeping the 4 lug for a while or until the 7.5 stays behind. Thats about all i really want to do to it. Only want around 350 or 400hp. Maybe i'll spray some n20. Who knows. Or I might just sell it depending on the offer. It makes my 3rd vehicle. Not too sure i need 3 since i live by myself lol.

Let me know if you need parts. Xnutt found more rust on the 79 coupe we have that's not repairable, so we're going to part it out or just sell the whole car as a parts car.

You can place some Wanted to buy ads over at www.foureyedpride.com (http://www.foureyedpride.com) if you like, good crew there for the 4eye's and can usually find parts.

If your not a member there also just read the rules for the classifieds as we monitor them closely.

very nice. Not sure I care for the LX hatch wing on the trunk, but it's definitely got some potential.

Its just one of those things you either hate or love...I'm not too sure I'm liking it the more i look at it....

I would definitely lose the wing...a notch looks great wingless.

I agree Jeff. I've never been a big fan of any wing on a notch. Just my opinion though.:snicker:

Let us know what happens with it. If you do sell it, I hope the person saves it and keeps it a four eye.:marc1:

Well it looks like I'll be keeping it unless someone offers the right amount for it. Not sure what to do with it though. Restore or gut and race... Decisions, Decisions....
